The Dyneema® Project

Forging strong connections

For the past year we have been carefully curating our innovations program – The Dyneema® Project – by undertaking close collaborations with selected brands and mills. We will begin to feature our collaborations starting FW2016 as the products will be available in the market.

Collaborations are curated by the Strategic and Creative Team at The Dyneema® Project. This team is a combination of Dyneema® management and strategic and creative partners.
